LAURA GELLER NEW YORK Serum-Texture SPF 50+ Foundation for Mature Skin — 03 Medium, Lightweight Radiant Finish

Better Than 'Block is a serum-texture, SPF 50+ foundation that combines buildable light-to-medium coverage with skin-nourishing ingredients tailored for mature skin.

This multi-tasking foundation blends makeup, daily broad-spectrum UV protection, and targeted skincare benefits into one effortless step. Formulated without fragrance and with ingredients like niacinamide, vitamins B5 and E, and antioxidant-rich botanical oils, it aims to hydrate, smooth, and protect without settling into fine lines. The weightless finish offers a natural, radiant look that can be layered for more coverage while remaining comfortable through the day.

How does this foundation protect my skin while providing coverage?

Better Than 'Block has built-in broad-spectrum SPF 50+ to shield skin from UVA and UVB exposure, so you don’t need a separate sunscreen underneath. The foundation base includes antioxidants and emollients that support skin barrier resilience while you wear it, reducing extra product steps in your routine.

• Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ for daily UV defense
• Vitamins E and B5 add antioxidant and hydrating benefits
• Sunflower, rosehip, and grape seed oils deliver lightweight nourishment
• Perfect for when you want coverage and sun protection in one

Will it settle into fine lines or feel heavy on mature skin?

The formula reads as a silky serum rather than a heavy cream, designed to glide over texture and blend seamlessly. Because it’s lightweight and hydrates while it wears, it resists caking or sinking into expression lines, giving a smooth, skin-like finish without looking mask-like.

• Serum-light texture that blends evenly
• Non-cakey, non-settling finish on mature skin
• Hydrating emollients help plump and smooth appearance
• Layerable coverage from light to medium

What skincare benefits can I expect from regular use?

Active ingredients like niacinamide and vitamin B5 work while you wear the foundation: niacinamide helps promote a more even tone, and vitamin B5 supports skin softness and hydration. Antioxidant-rich oils and vitamin E help protect against environmental stressors, so the product doubles as a protective, moisturizing tint.

• Niacinamide for evening and brightening effects
• Vitamin B5 to support moisture retention and softness
• Vitamin E and botanical oils for antioxidant support
• Fragrance-free formula suited for sensitive skin

How do I apply it for the most flattering, natural result?

Apply a small amount to clean, moisturized skin and blend using fingers, a sponge, or a brush for a natural finish. Start with a sheer layer and build where more coverage is needed; the formula layers well so you can customize finish and coverage without looking heavy.

• Begin with a thin, even layer and blend outward
• Build coverage gradually on areas needing more concealment
• Use damp sponge or dense brush for fuller coverage
• Perfect finish alone or under powder for longer wear

Who this product is for: Better Than 'Block is designed for women seeking a simplified daily routine—especially those aged 40 and up—who want sunscreen, skincare, and natural-looking coverage in a single product. It suits sensitive or mature skin types that prefer lightweight, hydrating makeup without fragrance, and anyone who wants a radiant, non-cakey finish with UV protection built in.
